I'm thinking about picking up a new S&W revolver (can one have too many?!). I saw a Model 36 Classic .38 snubnose (1 7/8") with a color case finish. I've only seen this type of finish before on old-style six shooters. I kind of like the look. Anyone have an opinion on these new old-style revolvers (I think they call them 'Classic') and color case finishes in general?
While we're talking finishes, why don't new revolvers with a traditional blue finish have the georgeous luster of my father's old S&W and Colt revolvers? Is it just economic or is there another reason for the rather plain looking blued finishes of today?
